GREAT rjtgKO WOOL MANNING'S ALLEGED RETRENCHMENT How He WorksliC' Hm mry The Trouble Wills-tti outfit &Rf4 air fr-jtem A .Ward A ' and His Father. Sneclal to Hie Ohio Sta'a Joi Washington, June-The "fact 'tfaat Secretary Manning bJW. thus fat failed1 to call upon the civil eerfce commiMoniof sixty e'erks to fill the vacancies that hev occarred in the past three montbsis nike" the basis of a very sloppy article, in nirtfjB oi tne uemocra'ic papers. The secretary is said to have determined to save the -'-government 500,000 a year by allowing tbsaw places to remain vacant. The truth is, that on the laborers, messengers and mechanics roll there is not a vacant place, and where an employe on this roll dies, which they occasionally do, the breath is scarcely oat of his body before - his successor is appointed. Mr. Manning sees that he can not fill these vacancies . in the clerkships except through the civil service commission, and as the places are . open to Republicans as well as Democrats, and as there is no chance whatever for trie ordinary political worker to et in, he is in no -hurry to fill the. vacancies. The . economy part of it is alt humbug. Oae of Oar Consuls. Young Beck ford Mackev, United - States consul at Bio Grande del Sul, whose -trial commenct-d on Tuesday for the hooting of a Portuguese editor who insulted him, was born in Sooth Carolina and graduated at Pio Kono college in Macau, Ga. When quite a boy Mackey's father employed a Portuuese man and wife onJiis plantation. The man was a diamond cutter and was not of much account at picking cotton. - Ho soon died and his wife was left on Mackey's hands. She could speak very little English, and as she had the care of young Maukey she soon began to teach him some few words of Portuguese. From this time on the boy devoted himself to the . Portuguese language, and he is today the - only United States consul at a Portuguese speakiug country who is able to speak the tongue of the inhabitants. Young Mackey is a stout, a! hie tic fellow, about five feet " ten, and has an excellent education, not fonretcing the handling of a pistol. Matkey's father, in speaking of the scrape into which his son has got hi mself, says: "I only regret that the boy had not a better, pistol. At home he was an excellent shot, and J am informed that the scoundrel who attacked him was hit twice in the breast, bat that the balls . failed to penetrate' far enough to inflict a fatal injury. I have received letters and Cablegrams from Brazil since the affair occurred and I am satisfied that 90 per cent, of thepeople and all the foreign representatives are on the side of my son in this controversy. ' I had no doubt whatever that he would be honorably acquitted, lie was to be defended by the most celebrated lawyer in southern Brain, who volunteered his services, and the United Spates government has instructed our minister to see that he is given a fair . and impditial trial." A Bad Jury System. About a year ago a great hullabaloo was made over the alleged discovery of a large number of fraudulent pay vouchers in the Navy deparment. A number of men were arrested, Including f mr or five of the most prominent stationers and druggists in the city. They were accused of being implicated in the frauds and their trials have been in progress for several months. One or two poor devils, who had no money, who were said to be parties to the fraud, were rushed through the justice mill, convicted - and sent to the penitentiary; but thus far those who have , money and influence have escaped - punishment. . This is only another instance of the extremely bad jury system which prevails r in ttMsDmtrict of Columbia woen the gov-' . eminent is a party to any action at law. It is the easiest thine in the world to convict a "nigger" or a white man whose sole possessions are the clothes on his back, but somehow or other the evidence against a wealthy business man may be never so strong, yet he can not be convicted. - Work to Bsxln on Oar Government Building.Supervising Architect Bell of theTre&s- - ury department Baid today that he had . decided not to ask competition on the additional Btory of the Columbus federal . building. "The present contractor, W. D. Collingwood," said Mr. Bell, "has pre- - pared the stone for the second story under the old plans. This stone will now . have to go into the third story, and if Mr. Collingwood is disposed to be reasonable in his demand, it is only justice to let him have the benefit of the additional work." It is understood that negotiations are now pen-ling with Collingwood, and the matter will probably be finally settled within a few days. If he secures the contract as now seems certain, work will probably be resumed within thirty days or just as soon as he can get enough stone cut to warraut him in beginning again. The delay is not due to any fault of the contractors nor to the supervising architect. The action of Congress in increasing the limit of cost is alone responsible for the tardiness in completing the work of construction. ; Txnrth-Clasa Postmasters. , The postmaster general today appoint-, ed the f allowing fourth-class postmasters for Ohio: John Hogan vice Miss Dora Suttner at Dungannon, Columbiana coun ty; John Singer vice John Black at Brandt, Miami county; W.

The recently ap pointed board of police commissioners this evening finished their investigation of the conduct of Inspector of Police James Dunn and Chief of Detectives Charles Wappenstein, against whom newspaper charges of blackmail have been made, xne commissioners an nounced tbat the decision was reserved until tomorrow afternoon, and that meantime both officers were suspended. The testimony before the board seemed to show that on Saturday night last Dunn and Wappenstein entered a house of ill repute in which was a party of five men, including John and James McClymond of Honda, and Jerry Down ing, a locKev. who were nere attending the Latonia races. The officers remained in company with the strangers for several hours, but when the latter spoke of de parting they were informed that they were under arrest. Once out of the house it was intimated that $100 would prevent trouble and John McUlymond promptly offered the required sum to Wappenstein who declined to take it, but suggested that it be given to his friend, Mr. Jami son. Jamison, who was really George Campbell, a well known local politician. accepted the money and the McClvmonds were then released. The next day the story was circulated on the streets, and from newspaper agitation found its way to the police commission. The officers deny any connection with the affair what ever, and assert that the Mcutymonds were victimized by skillful lm posters. Cases of Smallpox and Bog Cholrra. Springfield, III., June 5.

Their Bald Through New Mexico Men, 'Women and Children Slaughtered at the Ranehei The Stories of Some Marvelous Escapes. Silver Citt, N. M., June 5. The week has been one of unexampled suspense and terror here. Never have the Indians on their bloody raids come so near the city: .The first news of the proximity of the Indians was received on Wednesday ot last week, when a boy, riding a hone white with foam, dashed into town from Welty's ranch on Bear creek. He brought word that hostile Indians were in the hills, that an a tack on the ranch, in which were gathered ninny women and children, was expected, and that help was needed. A voluateer company of 35 men was organized and went to the rescue. At 7:30 o'clock the rauch was reached. All the families within a radius of 7 miles were collected there except one. A party set off. to bring them iu, while two other parties started for a water-hole in the hiils, where they expected to find the Indians, who, however, bad fled. Returning to tbe ranch, a larger party was or- fanized to go to Juniper Springs, but the ndians had fled from that spot also. Scouts spent two hours in searching for tbe trail, which led to Little -Walnut creek. Along this stream the most horrible sights were witnessed. Dead bodies, frightfully mutilated and naked, -were found at short intervals. The houses were pillaged, and clothing and household articles were .scattered everywhere. At William Ogden's five dead bodies, all scalped, lay in a pool of blood. Tbe two women had been outraged and their breasts cut off. A 5 year-old girl had both hands cut off. Following the trail over the hills Gomez's ranch was reached. A number of children were gathered there. They had escaped death by hiding. Their parents, living in the vicinity, had all been killed. Six miles further on, at the house of Felix Marqoese, five dead bodies were found. Mrs. Alarqueee and her seven-year-old daughter had both suffered at the hands of the Indians before being killed. The bodies were slashed with knives and presented a sickening spectacle. One of the heroic deeds tbat occur on such occasions was performed by little Willie Carpenter. The parents were some distance from the house when the Indians appeared. Willie and his sister were playing in tbe yard. The boy caught up his little sister and slipped into the weeds. He crawled a long distance and finally reached' this city, having carried his Bister five miles an his back. The parents were wild with joy to find their children, whom they supposed the Indians had carried off. The boy who brought the news to town had a narrow escape. At one time he found himself within a few hundred yards of the Indians. He. dismounted and hid in a pond of water among the weeds for nearly an hour until they had passed. Then he again mounted and rode in. .A miner named Clark was working Wednesday on a mine not far from Juniper Springs. He bad just set off a blast and rushed up the hill to avoid the falling rock. On reaching the top he saw the Indians between him and his camp. He started for Little Walnut creek and warned all the ranchmen, who moved their families up to Stewart's ranch. If it had not been for this man, every man, woman and child in the vicinity would have been murdered. The Indians who passed Duncan station yesterday stole twenty horses and killed a man named Woods. A band of Indians passed this morning near Hudson station going south. ' The telegraph operator says they were going as fast as the ponies could run. Whether there were two bands of hostiles or hottiles pursued by Indians we could not determine. FOREIGN NEWS. ENGLAND. London, June 5. An official dispatch from Serinagur gives the number of the killedand wounded by the earthquake there oh - Sunday and Monday last, as folk)-: Killed 87, wounded 100. The . Afleports have not been received yet fromtne other points in the Vale of Cash mere affected by the earthquake shocks, and until these come to hand, the full extent of the calamity can not be known. unomcial reports, however, are of such an alarming character as to make it more than likely that tbe earthquake will prove even more disastrous in its effects than the first dispatches stated them to be. Whole cities and towns in the vale are spoken of as destroyed and the absence Lot definite news is attributed to the demo lition of the telegraph lines in the general wreck and chaos. In consequence the magnitude of the killed and wuunded are left for the imagination to supply. Mr. Cbiiders, chancellor of tbe ex chequer, announced in the House of Commons this afternoon that the extra duty on spirits had been fixed at a shilling per gallon. This was a reduction, he said, which would involve a loss to the public revenua of $1,500,000 per annum. The additional duty on beer, the chancellor said, would be retained until May 31, 1886, and no other change in the budget would be made. The Marquis of Hartington, war minis ter, in answer to inquiries said that the government hoped it would be unnecessary to detain the Guards at Alexandria much longer, but that it was impossible at present to fix -a date for their departure.Mr. Gladstone stated that Russia and England had come to an agreement con cerning the points of difference between them which were to be referred to arbitration. He also stated that the governments of the two countries have likewise agreed upon the arbitrator, but, as the person chosen for arbitrator has not yet been formally asked to accept, he was unable to say further on the subject now. The cabinet today discussed Irish coercion for two hours but failed to reach an agreement. Earl Spencer in an inter view with Mr. Gladstone yesterday stated tbat an irreducible minimum of coercion. he considered indispensable for govern ing Ireland. He showed by his absence from the council today that he was de termined there should be no compromise. The majority of the cabinet support Earl Spencer. Mr. Gladstone, anxious that there shall be no disruption in tbe face of the general election, aeked Mr. Chamberlain and Sir Charles Dilke to accede to Earl Spencer's full demand for one year. The council was adjourned until Tuesday. The excitement in ministerial circles over the crisis is intense. It is said that Sir Charles Dilke and Mr. Chamberlain intend to resign. - The Pall Mall Gazette, in an editorial article, states that it can not believe that Messrs. Dilke and Chamberlain will face the odium of causing a disruption of the cabinet on the eve of a general election. Earl Spencer will be content if he gets the powers he urgently needs foi next year. The Home Rulers will, however, oppose the one-year term of the crimes act as a measure of coercion, while the Conservatives may coalesce with the Home Rulers and oppose the bill as inadequate and a temporary makeshift unworthy of the imperial Parliament. By accepting the compromise suggested the crisis may be transferred from the cabinet to the House of Commons. Although there is apprehension of great difficulty in keeping the party together, it may not be insurmountable.The Gazette makes the official announcement that the districts of Niger, in Africa, have been formed into a British protectorate. ThiB protectorate comprises the coast line between the British protectorate of Davos and the .western bank of the Rio del Rey, the territory on both banks of the Niger Irons its confluence with the river Benne at Lakaja to the sea,' and also both banks of Beune to and including Ibe.

An interview with Mr. Raine, the new United States consul. is published in the Tageblatt. Mr. Raine ays that he has undertaken the task o reviving tbe commercial relations of Germany and America. "The depression, in truth," says Consul Raine, "will soon convince the American people of the necessity for abandoning their policy of the past twenty-five yeara." Mr. Raine believed there would be "no difficulty in removing the points of difference between the two countries." He denounced as a falsehood the report that be wrote in bis German newspaper in Baltimore, in disparagement of Germany. SPAIN. Madrid, June 5. The Diaro reports the discovery of three cases of suspected -holers in Madrid, one of which was fatal. Three new cases of cholera were reported in Valencia today. Foreign Notes. Sir Julius Benedict, the musician and composer, is dead. - Ear! Spencer bas arrived in London and attended the cabinet council Friday. . - Tbe cholera is increasing at Valencia, Spain. Forty-live per cent, of those attacked die. - . Cardinal Manning writes to the papers in advocacy of devoting the Gordon memorial fund to founding a similar memorial in the "Congo state. Several leading merchants of London have unbonded a quantity of wine, expecting tbat Mr. Childers, chancellor of the exchequer, will remit a portion of the proposed tax on beer and spirits, and increase the duty on wine. Thursday Sir Peter Lumsden arrived at Vienna and proceeded on his journey to London. In an interview be said that Colonel Alikanoff had openly boasted to the Afghans that Russia would take Herat and a great deal more. Sir Peter said that Russia would never have urged her absurd demands if she bad believed that England was in earnest in resisting them. Tbe scene in the French Chamber during the debate Thursday was exceedingly stormy, and many angry personalities were indulged in, and several duels have been arranged in consequence of the insulting epithets which were freely exchanged. M. Fioquet, president of the Chamber, was powerless to preserve order, and threatened to resign, out has been persuaded to remain in office. CRIME AND CASUALTY. A Saw-Mill Blown Up.

In Deceaiber, 1862, ho assumed command of the Seventeenth brigade, Rousseau's division, and led it through the three days' battle of Scone River, closing on tbe night of January 3 with an as sault on the enemy's log barricade on J he Murireesboro turnpike; this position .beatty carried at the point of the bayonet. He participated in the Tallahoma campaign under Rosecratls, and after the rebels had evacuated their stronghold overtook tbem at Elk river, drove their rear guard from the heights beyond, and led the column which pursued them to the summit of the Cumberland mountains. While the army rested at Winchester General Beatty was president of a board to examine applicants for commissions in colored regi ments, and continued in this service until the army crossed the Tennessee and entered upon the Chattanooga campaign. In this advance into Georgia he had the honor of being the first of Thomas's corps to lead his command to the summit of Lookout mountain. The rebels, after a feeble resistance at Johnson's Creek and Cooper's Gap, retired rapidly before him-He was with Neglev and Brannon in the affair at Dug Gap, and succeeded in the responsiDle and dimcalt duty oi protect ing and bringing away a large wagon train in the face of an immense force of rebels. . V In the battle of .(Ibickamanca General Beatty commenced the fighting both on the 19th and 20th of September 'the first day on the extreme right of the line and the second on the extreme left. In the reorganizations of , the army he was as signed to the ommand of the Second brigade of Davis s division, aud was with Sherman in reserve at the battle of Mission Ridge. When- the rebel line broke he led the column in pursuit of the retreating enemy, overtook his rear guard FROM KKYVAKK. The Democratic Primaries Children Mysteriously Blissing; General Notes. Special to the Ohio State Journal. I Newark, O., June 5. Mr. and Mrs. Z.t S. Bradley have gone to Chicago. Leo Hiler, who resides on Church street, died at bis residence this morning. He was well known in this city, and is respected by all. He leaves a wife and five small children to mourn bis death. The funeral will take place Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, from his late residence,under the auspices of the Odd Fellows. Michael Stoogh, Christian S tough and Thomas Hepner, who have been on trial for the last two days fur burglary and larceny, were found guilty after the jury were out twenty minutes. These are the fellows who stole some $20 worth of meat from the smoke-house of William Vogle-meier.Rev. Cheeney will preach the baccalaureate sermon to the graduates of the High school next Sunday evening, at Fifth Street Baptist church. The commencement next Tuesday will be held in the Music hall. The accommodations at the rink are feared will not be the best, hence tbe change was made. The Christian Witness, published in this city, has been issued for the last time this week. The farther fail are to publish is not accounted for, but it is expected tbat it will be published at Ada, O., in the future. The grand prize dress carnival at the Palace rink last night was a grand farce. The piano, which was to be given to the handsomest dressed lady, was awarded to a Mrs. Bailey of Washington C. H., O. All the judges were non-residents and strangers in Newark, and the common sentiment of tbe people is that it is all a put up job. Tbe lady who received the prize was by far not the most handsomely dressed, and many other circumstances taken into consideration point to a complete fraud. Tbe dissatisfaction is so great over the affair that the proprietors of tbe rink felt obliged to draw the contest and .have determined to give another trial next Tuesday evening, upon which occasion a reduced admission will be charged. There were many finely dressed ladies on the floor and many who reside outside of Newark. - The person who is giving this piano as a prize is C. H. Martin, and claims to represent D. H. Baldwin of Cincinnati. Ever since o'clock today the little son of Mr. Will Sprague and tbe little daughter of Mr. Theo. Kemp, aged 5 and 6 years, have been missing from their homes. Search has been made about town all af ternoon in vain. Being unsuccessful about town . they thought they might have been cariied off by a band of Gipsies who have been .about here for some time and who pulled up stakes and left some time today, consequently the fathers of the children, together with tbe sheriff and several police, have gone in the direction of the Gipsies, with the hope of overtaking them if possible. At this writing nothing has as yet been heard of them. The children belong to prominent families, which increases the suspicion tbat they h'ave been kidnapped. ... The Democratic primaries take place tomorrow. The Advocate of this evening is setting up the bowk of spurious tickets. They were not printed at that office and therefore must be spuiious, according to the sense of tbat journal. This is simply the same old cry the day before every election. It is a chronic complaint. CHARITIES AND COKTtECTION. Session ot the National Body in Washicc ton The First Day's Proceedings. Washington, June 5. The second day's meeting of the conference of charities and correction was called to order by President Garrett at 9:30 o'clock this morning, and was opened by prayer by Rev. Dr. Dana of Minneapolis. Delegate Giles, of the business committee, reported a resolution that speeches be limited to ten minutes, and that state reports' be limited to the same period. Adopted. The president announced the order of near Graysville, when a short but sharp encounter occurred, in which the rebel general commanding the opposing force was wounded, and his troops compelled to retire in disorder. Subsequently Beatty accompanied Sherman in his expedition to Knoxville for the relief of Bamside, and the close of this campaign ended his military service. General Beatty was elected to the Fortieth Congrets in 1868 from the Eighth district of Ohio. He took en active part in the political campaign which resulted in the election of General Grant to the presidency, and was himself at the same rime re-elected to the Forty fit Congress. He was also re-elected to the Forty-second Congress. During his first term in Congress he served on the committee of invalid pensions ; the second term he was chairman of the committee on . public buildings and grounds, and the third term chairman of the committee on pub printing. While serving in the last position he succeeded, by a persistent and energetic struggle, in breaking down the old Congressional Globe monopoly, which has resulted in a saving of at least $200,000 per annum to the taxpayers of the country. In 1876 General Beatty was an active sup- I porter 'of Governor Hayes for the presidency, and probably did as much to secure Hayes's nomination as any one man. ; At the Cincinnati convention his activity and success in combining tbe divided elements in support of the Ohio candidate ; had a most important bearing npon the action of the convention. In 1880 General Beatty was an active supporter of James G. Blaine for the presidency. When Garfield was nominated Beatty supported him cordially, and his speech defending him from the De Golyer and credit mobilier charges was among the most effective and widely distributed documents of the campaign. In 1SS4 Beatty still felt the utmost kindness toward Mr. Blaine, bat believing that the unfortunate split in the Republican party in New York, which had resulted in the election of Cleveland by nearly 200,000 majority, would make Mr. Blaine's election extremely doubtful, if not impossible, he favored the sending of a delegation to Chicago friendly to Senator Sherman, but not pledged to any one.. In the Blaine campaign Beatty was chosen one of the electors-at-large for this state. The controlling political thought of his life has been the equality of men under the law. It waa this which led him in youth to cast his political fortunes with the Abolitionists ; this which prompted him to cast his first vote for the Free Soil candidate for the presidency ; this which has made him tenacious at all times and under all circumstances, first for the emancipation of the slave, second for the protection of the freedmen, and third for a free ballot and a fair count. He has never stopped to reckon the odds against him in a political contest. Without cast-' ing about to discover which side was Istrongestjjbehas Bimplyjjnqaired which Blue wus rignr, ana BirutK lor it. tie would differ with a President or a Governor on a question of party or public policy just as readily as he would with the humblest citizen, and would yield his convictions if he found they were wrong just as cheerfully to the one as to the other. He has doubtless made mistakes, but he has never been unfaithful to what he believed to be the fundamental principles of the Republican party. business to be the submission of repoits from states. A motion was made and carried, that a committee, to consist of one delegate from each state and territory, to determine tbe time and place for holding the next annual conference, be appointed. A communication was received from the directors of the Maryland penitentiary in Baltimore, inviting the conference to visit the institution. Mr. William Howard Neff of Cincin nati, chairman of the committee on re ports from tbe states, read the commit tee's report. Notwithstanding the efforts of the committee it had not been able to secure reports from all the states. Despite a record of a few failures, the report was highly encouraging and the committee suggested that its life be extended for another year, and that all persons possessing a knowledge of matters of interest be invited to communicate freely. The re port embodied abstracts of the reports from the several states, which were read by the secretary of the convention, or by delegates from the respective states. The reports from several southern states noted the quite general redaction of the By stem of hiring out convicts, and (he adoption of measures which had a ten dency to mitigate the evils oi the system. The report from Delaware noted the miti gation of the severity. of the whipping system. iSlood was rarely drawn at present. The whipping-post was in general favor with the people of Delaware for the punishment of petty offenses. It was rarely found necessary to administer a second whipping to the same offender. Ex-Governor Henry M. Hoyt of Pennsylvania read a paper this evening before the conference npon "The Evolution of the Prison." Charles Dudley Warner then made an informal address describing what he recently saw in the reformatory at Elmira. 'THE GLORIOUS CLIMATE'1 And How It Affects the Mill-Sharon Case A Witness Wbo Initials that She Did Not Tell the Truth. San Fbancisco, June 5. In the case of The People v. Marth Wilson (colored), now under trial for perjury in the celebrated Sharon divorce suit, Miss Mattie Brackett, who was at first an important witness for Miss Hill and later for Senator Sharon, testified today. She acknowledged also having committed j-erjury on behalf of Miss Hill and said: "I know I have told lies against Mr.-Sharon ; knew it was a blackmailing case against him. Know perjury means state prison and understand I have committed the same oflense as the criminal at the bar. I entered into a conspiracy with Miss Hill to blackmail and to defraud Mr. Sharon, but now want to tell the truth, as my conscience worries me. Miss Hill promised me $1000 in case she won and a trunk of unmade dresses if sbe did not. I have not been promised a cent to change my testimony and don't expect to receive anything. I was led to change my course of action because I found Miss Hill had given the business away and did not want to be left. Miss Hill began her forgeries just after Sharon was arrested. I can not remember all the falsehoods I swore to". .When I swore that when I hid behind the bureau in Sharon's bed-room and. heard him admit that Miss Hill was his wife, it was all false." The witness continued : "I knew Miss Hill to be at the time in a delicate situation, and that she intended falsely jo lay it on Sharon. Large Payment ot Life Insurance. . New Yobk. June 5.

THE VICTORIOUS ALCYONE THE LITERARY CONTEST AT O. S. U. Horton Defeated By aSmall Fraction An Enthusiastic Andience The Societies Acquit Themselves With Credit. The third annual contest at State university, between the Alcyone and Horton literary societies, took place last evening in the lecture-room of the main building. Tbe attendance was all that could be desired, the audience being large and enthusiastic. Tbe reat distance of the university from the central portion ' of the city bas always tended to diminish the attendance at each contest, but it seemed last night as though there were an unusual interest in the affair, for those present included not only students, and the immediate friends of the members of the two societies, but also many of our leading citizens drawn thither by tbe excellent program which bad been previously announced.I here were no decorations of any kind but tbe lecture-room presented an attractive appearance from the evident good nature of tbe audience. The music, furnished by Professor Eckhardt's quartet, was perfectly grand, eliciting hearty applause at each namber. It may be well to state that these contests are made up of. a general literary entertainment giveu by the two societies, the one making the highest general average being declared the victor. They include an oration,-debate, essay and declamation, each society presenting a member to take part in each. The grading is done by three judges after the following manner: The oration counts 600 points 200 on thought, 200 on style, 200 on delivery; tbe debate counts 600200 on thought, 200 on style. 2U0 on delivery; the essay counts 500200 on thought, 200 on style, 100 on delivery; the declamation counts 300. The j udges elected for last evening's contest were Hon. John F. Locke of London. Colonel J. T. Holmes and E. O. Randall of this city. They performed their duties in a fair and impartial manner, and were sustained by the audience in their decision. An unusual interest was attached to this contest and tbe decUion, from the fact tbat each society had already won one contest. The fint contest in 1883 was declared in favor of Alcyone, aud last year Horton carried off tbe prize. The excitement last evening at times was at a fever' beat, for it was recognized that the contestants were very evenly matched, and the friends of each were anxious as to the result. There was considerable delay in bfginning the program owing to tbe non-arrival of Mr. Locke, one of the judges, and finally Judge W. W. Johnson was selected to fill the place. It was nearly 9 o'clock before Pr-sidcnt Scott called the andience to order, and R-v. F. O. Granniss offered prayer. Professor Eckhardt's quartet then rendered an overture, which called forth long continued applause. Owing to the delay in beginning, by special request no encores were called for. The literary exercises were opened by Mr. M. N. Mix, of Alcyone, who read a carefully written essay entitled "Our Bread Winners." He began his essay at once by citing the various upheavals of business, and recited the horrible deeds being enacted by the various societies and communities under the guise of seeking their-rights. He took up the question of socialism and communism and pointed out tbe vast evils resulting therefrom. On the other hand the essayist discussed tbe massing of capital and the decline of wages to tbe smallest point. The rights of labor can never come by force, but by unity of labor and capital. Strikes are in themselves right and honorable, but American laborers are extremists in this, aud rarely stop short of destruction of property. Another objection to them is the fact tbat they are so seldom successful and thus are not effective in what they seek to do. The labor question is to be solved in only one way, and tbat is in a mutual co-operation between capital and labor. Mr. C. S. Charters represented Horton as essayist, and followed Mr. Mix with -a beautifully written production upon "The National -Art." After a brief introduction" npon the art of the Raphael school, he said: The national art of today is decorative. Both in mansion of the rich and in cottage of the humble the spirit of decoration will be found. Aesthetics is the study of the merchant as well as of tbe artist. In every department of life it is plainly discerned. i ne moaei lor an this home decoration is elevates and pleases our people. By touching various elements of our nature, it - i i . r . i I . - kind. We can not behold tbgtmulenr oft true art without beiBg inipre&sed w MraH divinity of nature, aud thus wj farL. upon a similar plane with reiigi Both essayists received great t Ltd anj testation of - approval being abootV equally uisinuuieu. liw oruuesira wieflL' rendered a beautiful selection, the effect or wuicu was luurieu Duoienuah vy iiie miaiaw in the audience, many of whom could not retrain irom discussing the -merits -ol . the previous exercise. - - Mr V. J. Emery, of Horton, was then introduced. His oration had for its subject," ' Our Debt to Hamilton," the following being a brief synopsis: . .-- : - r At the close ot the war ot lnaepenaf"ce the confederation of states found thews paJ free, but with no government. Tn catm&yr such as it was, had no credit, and was in iact at sea as to what should be done to put it upon its feet. In tbe midst of all this turmoil there arose a set of men whose wisdom . and determination proved the salvation of the country and the hope of the future. ' Chief among these was the grandt-oldfer-statesman, Alexander Hamilton. Although but a young man, he threw himseit into the conflict and by pen and tongue waged a warfare for tbe establishment of a strong government, such as put to night the opponents ot tne scneme. lie wanted a government 'that could gov ern, and, in spite oi tne misgivings of able and older men as to the success of bis venture, he pushed boldly forward, and the result of his labors is seen in the United States of today. Hi . administration of the finances of tbe country has been tbe rock upon which its whole prosperity has oeen built. When he was retired from public office he saw his greatest enemy in the presi dential chair and his political opponents in all offices, but be bad the satisfaction of knowing that they did not care to change the policy he had outlined. Mr. Ueoige tt. l wiss toiiowed lor Alcyone, his subject being 'Tbe Nation's Danger and the People's Duty." The salient points were the following: ' Tbe perils to tbe nation were not eradi cated by the successful termination of tbe war and the abolition of slavery. Ihe dan gers which now exist are far mure terrible in the relation between the black and white population of the country. The great evil which confronts us is that of illiteracy among tbe black people of tbe South. Tbe :j : -1. . - : . t . rapiu increase iu luis race is iu pai iuo cause of the dangers which threaten us Their percentage nf increase is so much greater than that of the whites that in less than one nunareu years iney win De in me majority in mauy of the Southern states, and what then can we expect? One great evil is found .in the fact that tbe black race of the South is incompetent to rule, and the white race is resolved to rule at any cost, though in the minority in some states. The results of several yeara past show that the corruption of the ballot in tbe Sjuth is gradually forcing its way to tbe North. The only way in which this great problem may be solved is found in tbe grand results possible to be obtained by universal education the only weapon with which the United 8tates may be saved. The nation has given the negro freedom of body, but left his soul enslaved. It has given him tbe ballot, but not tbe education to enable him to cast it intelligently. Following the orations Miss Anna Tresselt sang a solo, accompanied by the orchestra. So sweetly was it rendered tbat tbe andience insisted upon an encore, notwithstanding the opening announcement. The declamations were then announced. Mr. E. V. Mix, of Alcyone, opened with 'King Robert of 8icily.'r He was followed by Mr. E. J. Craft, of Horton, in three pieces, entitled "John Maynard," "The Maniac" and "The Hypochondriac." The recitation of the last piece by Mr. Craft kept the audience in a perfect roar of laughter. The debate ciosed the exercises of tbe evening. The question for discussion was, "Are populous cities favorable to the best interests of society?" Tbe affirmative was taken by Mr. C. A. Davis for Alcyone, who advanced the following argument: History shows that popnleus cities were the great bulwarks of political ambition and commercial progress in every country. The men trained by self-government were almost without exception those who came from populous cities, and their wisdom bas always been tha,t which proved for tbe best interest of society. In large cities wealth is so much greater that by combining it can produce greater results. The great manufactures are only tounu in ones, ids great wyrw of art, great libraries and all such things are found in populous cities. They ore the ..lv ontlets for man's greatest faculties. Every city that contributes to the advancement of mankind is a help to the morality of a people. There is more crime in small tnwiiR wm nared to the population, than in the great metropolis of Jsew York. Look at the small witling towusof the West and render your conclusions. Mr. J. P. Milligan of Horton took the negative side in tbe following argument: In answer to the assertion of the aftirma- ft shows that there is room for 'atre Globes .in a fVfVSSk ooriis....-.-Jtr both work and pleasure. It reforms. UllS aiternoon. C0J.J. - frne I b. tive that association was the great cause o progress, Mi. Milligan claimed that, if thisf association were not carried on to such a great extent, many of those in great cities would be in the country to help the tone of its society and benefit it by their faculties. The health and morality of city people are certainly not so good and pare as in tbe country and smaller towns. The death rat of all sections will prove this if proof should be needed. The average age of tbe population of this country and Europe is found considerably higher than the average in the populous cities. With regard to morality, the evil attractions are a thousand-fold greater in the city than in the country. Gambling, drinking, etc., are so great in tbe cities that it lures the young to tbe terrible vices. Patents in cities so anxious for money, pay less attention to their children than tbe parents of country districts. The government of cities is more difficult than tbat of countries. Senator Sherman has said that it is more difficult to govern a great city than to govern the nation. ! ' ' Mr. Davis followed Mr. Milligan in a five minutesspeeh which clwed tbe debate. While tbe orchestra was rendering "Sounds from Home,' tbe judges retired to make up their decision. Tbe marking was done by each judge separately, and then submitted to a committee to make the average. , When the judges returned and tbe decision was annoanced, it was greeted with storms of applause by the enthusiastic Alcyone men. It will be seen from the decision below that Alcyone won in all except the declamation. Mr. Milligan, the defeated debater, was successful the two preceding years. Tbe following is the result, which gives the victory to Alcyone by 8 6 6 points: Ban- John- Aver-dall. ton.

GREAT rjtgKO WOOL MANNING'S ALLEGED RETRENCHMENT How He WorksliC' Hm mry The Trouble Wills-tti outfit &Rf4 air fr-jtem A .Ward A ' and His Father. Sneclal to Hie Ohio Sta'a Joi Washington, June-The "fact 'tfaat Secretary Manning bJW. thus fat failed1 to call upon the civil eerfce commiMoniof sixty e'erks to fill the vacancies that hev occarred in the past three montbsis nike" the basis of a very sloppy article, in nirtfjB oi tne uemocra'ic papers. The secretary is said to have determined to save the -'-government 500,000 a year by allowing tbsaw places to remain vacant. The truth is, that on the laborers, messengers and mechanics roll there is not a vacant place, and where an employe on this roll dies, which they occasionally do, the breath is scarcely oat of his body before - his successor is appointed. Mr. Manning sees that he can not fill these vacancies . in the clerkships except through the civil service commission, and as the places are . open to Republicans as well as Democrats, and as there is no chance whatever for trie ordinary political worker to et in, he is in no -hurry to fill the. vacancies. The . economy part of it is alt humbug. Oae of Oar Consuls. Young Beck ford Mackev, United - States consul at Bio Grande del Sul, whose -trial commenct-d on Tuesday for the hooting of a Portuguese editor who insulted him, was born in Sooth Carolina and graduated at Pio Kono college in Macau, Ga. When quite a boy Mackey's father employed a Portuuese man and wife onJiis plantation. The man was a diamond cutter and was not of much account at picking cotton. - Ho soon died and his wife was left on Mackey's hands. She could speak very little English, and as she had the care of young Maukey she soon began to teach him some few words of Portuguese. From this time on the boy devoted himself to the . Portuguese language, and he is today the - only United States consul at a Portuguese speakiug country who is able to speak the tongue of the inhabitants. Young Mackey is a stout, a! hie tic fellow, about five feet " ten, and has an excellent education, not fonretcing the handling of a pistol. Matkey's father, in speaking of the scrape into which his son has got hi mself, says: "I only regret that the boy had not a better, pistol. At home he was an excellent shot, and J am informed that the scoundrel who attacked him was hit twice in the breast, bat that the balls . failed to penetrate' far enough to inflict a fatal injury. I have received letters and Cablegrams from Brazil since the affair occurred and I am satisfied that 90 per cent, of thepeople and all the foreign representatives are on the side of my son in this controversy. ' I had no doubt whatever that he would be honorably acquitted, lie was to be defended by the most celebrated lawyer in southern Brain, who volunteered his services, and the United Spates government has instructed our minister to see that he is given a fair . and impditial trial." A Bad Jury System. About a year ago a great hullabaloo was made over the alleged discovery of a large number of fraudulent pay vouchers in the Navy deparment. A number of men were arrested, Including f mr or five of the most prominent stationers and druggists in the city. They were accused of being implicated in the frauds and their trials have been in progress for several months. One or two poor devils, who had no money, who were said to be parties to the fraud, were rushed through the justice mill, convicted - and sent to the penitentiary; but thus far those who have , money and influence have escaped - punishment. . This is only another instance of the extremely bad jury system which prevails r in ttMsDmtrict of Columbia woen the gov-' . eminent is a party to any action at law. It is the easiest thine in the world to convict a "nigger" or a white man whose sole possessions are the clothes on his back, but somehow or other the evidence against a wealthy business man may be never so strong, yet he can not be convicted. - Work to Bsxln on Oar Government Building.Supervising Architect Bell of theTre&s- - ury department Baid today that he had . decided not to ask competition on the additional Btory of the Columbus federal . building. "The present contractor, W. D. Collingwood," said Mr. Bell, "has pre- - pared the stone for the second story under the old plans. This stone will now . have to go into the third story, and if Mr. Collingwood is disposed to be reasonable in his demand, it is only justice to let him have the benefit of the additional work." It is understood that negotiations are now pen-ling with Collingwood, and the matter will probably be finally settled within a few days. If he secures the contract as now seems certain, work will probably be resumed within thirty days or just as soon as he can get enough stone cut to warraut him in beginning again. The delay is not due to any fault of the contractors nor to the supervising architect. The action of Congress in increasing the limit of cost is alone responsible for the tardiness in completing the work of construction. ; Txnrth-Clasa Postmasters. , The postmaster general today appoint-, ed the f allowing fourth-class postmasters for Ohio: John Hogan vice Miss Dora Suttner at Dungannon, Columbiana coun ty; John Singer vice John Black at Brandt, Miami county; W.

The treasurer says it is possible that the total shortage may be increased to $50,000, and intimates that Mr. Aufdemorte is not the only person concerned in the transaction. He says he government will suffer no loss from the defalcation, as it is amply protected by the bond of the assistant treasurer. SPRINGFIELD COLLECTIONS.

The recently ap pointed board of police commissioners this evening finished their investigation of the conduct of Inspector of Police James Dunn and Chief of Detectives Charles Wappenstein, against whom newspaper charges of blackmail have been made, xne commissioners an nounced tbat the decision was reserved until tomorrow afternoon, and that meantime both officers were suspended. The testimony before the board seemed to show that on Saturday night last Dunn and Wappenstein entered a house of ill repute in which was a party of five men, including John and James McClymond of Honda, and Jerry Down ing, a locKev. who were nere attending the Latonia races. The officers remained in company with the strangers for several hours, but when the latter spoke of de parting they were informed that they were under arrest. Once out of the house it was intimated that $100 would prevent trouble and John McUlymond promptly offered the required sum to Wappenstein who declined to take it, but suggested that it be given to his friend, Mr. Jami son. Jamison, who was really George Campbell, a well known local politician. accepted the money and the McClvmonds were then released. The next day the story was circulated on the streets, and from newspaper agitation found its way to the police commission. The officers deny any connection with the affair what ever, and assert that the Mcutymonds were victimized by skillful lm posters. Cases of Smallpox and Bog Cholrra. Springfield, III., June 5.

Their Bald Through New Mexico Men, 'Women and Children Slaughtered at the Ranehei The Stories of Some Marvelous Escapes. Silver Citt, N. M., June 5. The week has been one of unexampled suspense and terror here. Never have the Indians on their bloody raids come so near the city: .The first news of the proximity of the Indians was received on Wednesday ot last week, when a boy, riding a hone white with foam, dashed into town from Welty's ranch on Bear creek. He brought word that hostile Indians were in the hills, that an a tack on the ranch, in which were gathered ninny women and children, was expected, and that help was needed. A voluateer company of 35 men was organized and went to the rescue. At 7:30 o'clock the rauch was reached. All the families within a radius of 7 miles were collected there except one. A party set off. to bring them iu, while two other parties started for a water-hole in the hiils, where they expected to find the Indians, who, however, bad fled. Returning to tbe ranch, a larger party was or- fanized to go to Juniper Springs, but the ndians had fled from that spot also. Scouts spent two hours in searching for tbe trail, which led to Little -Walnut creek. Along this stream the most horrible sights were witnessed. Dead bodies, frightfully mutilated and naked, -were found at short intervals. The houses were pillaged, and clothing and household articles were .scattered everywhere. At William Ogden's five dead bodies, all scalped, lay in a pool of blood. Tbe two women had been outraged and their breasts cut off. A 5 year-old girl had both hands cut off. Following the trail over the hills Gomez's ranch was reached. A number of children were gathered there. They had escaped death by hiding. Their parents, living in the vicinity, had all been killed. Six miles further on, at the house of Felix Marqoese, five dead bodies were found. Mrs. Alarqueee and her seven-year-old daughter had both suffered at the hands of the Indians before being killed. The bodies were slashed with knives and presented a sickening spectacle. One of the heroic deeds tbat occur on such occasions was performed by little Willie Carpenter. The parents were some distance from the house when the Indians appeared. Willie and his sister were playing in tbe yard. The boy caught up his little sister and slipped into the weeds. He crawled a long distance and finally reached' this city, having carried his Bister five miles an his back. The parents were wild with joy to find their children, whom they supposed the Indians had carried off. The boy who brought the news to town had a narrow escape. At one time he found himself within a few hundred yards of the Indians. He. dismounted and hid in a pond of water among the weeds for nearly an hour until they had passed. Then he again mounted and rode in. .A miner named Clark was working Wednesday on a mine not far from Juniper Springs. He bad just set off a blast and rushed up the hill to avoid the falling rock. On reaching the top he saw the Indians between him and his camp. He started for Little Walnut creek and warned all the ranchmen, who moved their families up to Stewart's ranch. If it had not been for this man, every man, woman and child in the vicinity would have been murdered. The Indians who passed Duncan station yesterday stole twenty horses and killed a man named Woods. A band of Indians passed this morning near Hudson station going south. ' The telegraph operator says they were going as fast as the ponies could run. Whether there were two bands of hostiles or hottiles pursued by Indians we could not determine. FOREIGN NEWS. ENGLAND. London, June 5. An official dispatch from Serinagur gives the number of the killedand wounded by the earthquake there oh - Sunday and Monday last, as folk)-: Killed 87, wounded 100. The . Afleports have not been received yet fromtne other points in the Vale of Cash mere affected by the earthquake shocks, and until these come to hand, the full extent of the calamity can not be known. unomcial reports, however, are of such an alarming character as to make it more than likely that tbe earthquake will prove even more disastrous in its effects than the first dispatches stated them to be. Whole cities and towns in the vale are spoken of as destroyed and the absence Lot definite news is attributed to the demo lition of the telegraph lines in the general wreck and chaos. In consequence the magnitude of the killed and wuunded are left for the imagination to supply. Mr. Cbiiders, chancellor of tbe ex chequer, announced in the House of Commons this afternoon that the extra duty on spirits had been fixed at a shilling per gallon. This was a reduction, he said, which would involve a loss to the public revenua of $1,500,000 per annum. The additional duty on beer, the chancellor said, would be retained until May 31, 1886, and no other change in the budget would be made. The Marquis of Hartington, war minis ter, in answer to inquiries said that the government hoped it would be unnecessary to detain the Guards at Alexandria much longer, but that it was impossible at present to fix -a date for their departure.Mr. Gladstone stated that Russia and England had come to an agreement con cerning the points of difference between them which were to be referred to arbitration. He also stated that the governments of the two countries have likewise agreed upon the arbitrator, but, as the person chosen for arbitrator has not yet been formally asked to accept, he was unable to say further on the subject now. The cabinet today discussed Irish coercion for two hours but failed to reach an agreement. Earl Spencer in an inter view with Mr. Gladstone yesterday stated tbat an irreducible minimum of coercion. he considered indispensable for govern ing Ireland. He showed by his absence from the council today that he was de termined there should be no compromise. The majority of the cabinet support Earl Spencer. Mr. Gladstone, anxious that there shall be no disruption in tbe face of the general election, aeked Mr. Chamberlain and Sir Charles Dilke to accede to Earl Spencer's full demand for one year. The council was adjourned until Tuesday. The excitement in ministerial circles over the crisis is intense. It is said that Sir Charles Dilke and Mr. Chamberlain intend to resign. - The Pall Mall Gazette, in an editorial article, states that it can not believe that Messrs. Dilke and Chamberlain will face the odium of causing a disruption of the cabinet on the eve of a general election. Earl Spencer will be content if he gets the powers he urgently needs foi next year. The Home Rulers will, however, oppose the one-year term of the crimes act as a measure of coercion, while the Conservatives may coalesce with the Home Rulers and oppose the bill as inadequate and a temporary makeshift unworthy of the imperial Parliament. By accepting the compromise suggested the crisis may be transferred from the cabinet to the House of Commons. Although there is apprehension of great difficulty in keeping the party together, it may not be insurmountable.The Gazette makes the official announcement that the districts of Niger, in Africa, have been formed into a British protectorate. ThiB protectorate comprises the coast line between the British protectorate of Davos and the .western bank of the Rio del Rey, the territory on both banks of the Niger Irons its confluence with the river Benne at Lakaja to the sea,' and also both banks of Beune to and including Ibe.

An interview with Mr. Raine, the new United States consul. is published in the Tageblatt. Mr. Raine ays that he has undertaken the task o reviving tbe commercial relations of Germany and America. "The depression, in truth," says Consul Raine, "will soon convince the American people of the necessity for abandoning their policy of the past twenty-five yeara." Mr. Raine believed there would be "no difficulty in removing the points of difference between the two countries." He denounced as a falsehood the report that be wrote in bis German newspaper in Baltimore, in disparagement of Germany. SPAIN. Madrid, June 5. The Diaro reports the discovery of three cases of suspected -holers in Madrid, one of which was fatal. Three new cases of cholera were reported in Valencia today. Foreign Notes. Sir Julius Benedict, the musician and composer, is dead. - Ear! Spencer bas arrived in London and attended the cabinet council Friday. . - Tbe cholera is increasing at Valencia, Spain. Forty-live per cent, of those attacked die. - . Cardinal Manning writes to the papers in advocacy of devoting the Gordon memorial fund to founding a similar memorial in the "Congo state. Several leading merchants of London have unbonded a quantity of wine, expecting tbat Mr. Childers, chancellor of the exchequer, will remit a portion of the proposed tax on beer and spirits, and increase the duty on wine. Thursday Sir Peter Lumsden arrived at Vienna and proceeded on his journey to London. In an interview be said that Colonel Alikanoff had openly boasted to the Afghans that Russia would take Herat and a great deal more. Sir Peter said that Russia would never have urged her absurd demands if she bad believed that England was in earnest in resisting them. Tbe scene in the French Chamber during the debate Thursday was exceedingly stormy, and many angry personalities were indulged in, and several duels have been arranged in consequence of the insulting epithets which were freely exchanged. M. Fioquet, president of the Chamber, was powerless to preserve order, and threatened to resign, out has been persuaded to remain in office. CRIME AND CASUALTY. A Saw-Mill Blown Up.

Killed His Man and Then Blew Out His Own Brains. Evansville, June 5. At Gudgell's station, on the Evansville and Indianapolis railroad, today, a man named John Butcher killed James H. Minnis. Min-nis was a quiet man. Butcher was a tough customer. Minnis was coming to the depot with a loaded wagon, and met several empty wagons. They all gave the road to him, as be had a loaded wagon, but Butcher refused to turn out. Minnis told him he would make him. One word brought-1 on1 others and the two men got down off their wagons.

Indicted for Child StsaUaaV . - ' - Nkw HAViuf.GosK., JnTe&: The grand jury has returned an indictment to the Superior Court against Dudley W. Stewart of Des Moines, Io., for being concerned in tbe abduction, on the night of October SO last, of Annie Reeves, a minor, from the residence of her grandfather. Dr. Toof , in this city. At the time the affair caused a great sensation, not only here but in Chicago and the West, where the father of the child, Rollin Reeves, fled after gaining possession of his child. In the Chicago courts Mrs. Reeves was awarded the custody of the child, and she subsequently got a divorce from her husband in this city, where she now resides. Stewart aided Reeves to kidnap the chi'd, and, it is said, choloroformed her to make the abduction easier. State Attorney Doo-little, who from the first was determined to punish the abductors, is confident that Stewart will shortly be brought to this state and put on trial. An Eatire Family Murdered. Evansville, Ind., Jane 5. At 11 o'clock this morning Fred. Grategout and family, liviDg a mile east of the Ruble school-house, near Ed wardsport, Ind., were found murdered. Mrs. Grategout had her throat cut from ear to ear and evidently died instantly, as she was terribly mangled about the face. Fred. Grategout died this afternoon at 2 o'clock. His throat was cut. It is reported that a daughter was also murdered in the same manner, but there is so much excitement that exact particulars are bard to be obtained. The two women were heard screaming yesterday evening by neighbors but no attention was paid to it. It is supposed at Ed wardsport that Mr. Grategout did the killing in a fit of insanity and then killed himself. ' And the Villain Still Pursues Him. New York, June 3.

Sherman Brewer, who drove a hack last winter between this city and Vienna, this county, was trusted to carry a gold watch and other valuables. The temptation being too great, he skipped to parts then unknown to enjoy the usufruct on the banks of the Maumee.

General John Beattv was born on a farm near Sandusky. O.. December 16. 1828. Hie paternal ancestors were Scotch- Irish. . His education was obtained at the district school of a pioneer settlement. His grandfatheTVSJohn Beatty, was an anti-slavery man of the James G. Birney school, and from him the present John imbibed in boyhood his , first political tenets, and to these he has adhered somewhat obstinately ever since. In 1852 he supported John P. Hale, the Free Soil can didate lor tbe presidency, and in l Sod he cast his vote for John C. Fremont. In I860 he was the Republican presidential elector for the district wMch sent John Sherman to Congress. When the war broke out in lobl he was the first to put his name on an enlistment roll in Morrow county. He was elected to tne captaincy ot his company, subsequently made licHtenant colonel and colonel of the Third Ohio Volunteer infantry, and in ISG2 was advanced to the position of brigadier general of volunteers. . He was with McClellan and R isecrans at Middle Forks, Kich Mountain, Cheat Mountain and L fc Water. W. Va.. durimr tbe summer and fall of 1861; with General O. M. Mitchell in his dash - through southern Kentucky,' middle Tennessee and fiorth-ern Alabama in the ppring of 1862. In the affair at Bridueoort and the operations about Decatur he took an efficient part, and was for a time provost marshal of the city of tluntsville, Ala. Returning to the Ohio river with General Buell in S pteuiber, 1862, he joined in the pursuit of Bragg through Kentucky, and on October 8 fought at the head of his regiment in the battle of Per-ryville. In Deceaiber, 1862, ho assumed command of the Seventeenth brigade, Rousseau's division, and led it through the three days' battle of Scone River, closing on tbe night of January 3 with an as sault on the enemy's log barricade on J he Murireesboro turnpike; this position .beatty carried at the point of the bayonet. He participated in the Tallahoma campaign under Rosecratls, and after the rebels had evacuated their stronghold overtook tbem at Elk river, drove their rear guard from the heights beyond, and led the column which pursued them to the summit of the Cumberland mountains. While the army rested at Winchester General Beatty was president of a board to examine applicants for commissions in colored regi ments, and continued in this service until the army crossed the Tennessee and entered upon the Chattanooga campaign. In this advance into Georgia he had the honor of being the first of Thomas's corps to lead his command to the summit of Lookout mountain. The rebels, after a feeble resistance at Johnson's Creek and Cooper's Gap, retired rapidly before him-He was with Neglev and Brannon in the affair at Dug Gap, and succeeded in the responsiDle and dimcalt duty oi protect ing and bringing away a large wagon train in the face of an immense force of rebels. . V In the battle of .(Ibickamanca General Beatty commenced the fighting both on the 19th and 20th of September 'the first day on the extreme right of the line and the second on the extreme left. In the reorganizations of , the army he was as signed to the ommand of the Second brigade of Davis s division, aud was with Sherman in reserve at the battle of Mission Ridge. When- the rebel line broke he led the column in pursuit of the retreating enemy, overtook his rear guard FROM KKYVAKK. The Democratic Primaries Children Mysteriously Blissing; General Notes. Special to the Ohio State Journal. I Newark, O., June 5. Mr. and Mrs. Z.t S. Bradley have gone to Chicago. Leo Hiler, who resides on Church street, died at bis residence this morning. He was well known in this city, and is respected by all. He leaves a wife and five small children to mourn bis death. The funeral will take place Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, from his late residence,under the auspices of the Odd Fellows. Michael Stoogh, Christian S tough and Thomas Hepner, who have been on trial for the last two days fur burglary and larceny, were found guilty after the jury were out twenty minutes. These are the fellows who stole some $20 worth of meat from the smoke-house of William Vogle-meier.Rev. Cheeney will preach the baccalaureate sermon to the graduates of the High school next Sunday evening, at Fifth Street Baptist church. The commencement next Tuesday will be held in the Music hall. The accommodations at the rink are feared will not be the best, hence tbe change was made. The Christian Witness, published in this city, has been issued for the last time this week. The farther fail are to publish is not accounted for, but it is expected tbat it will be published at Ada, O., in the future. The grand prize dress carnival at the Palace rink last night was a grand farce. The piano, which was to be given to the handsomest dressed lady, was awarded to a Mrs. Bailey of Washington C. H., O. All the judges were non-residents and strangers in Newark, and the common sentiment of tbe people is that it is all a put up job. Tbe lady who received the prize was by far not the most handsomely dressed, and many other circumstances taken into consideration point to a complete fraud. Tbe dissatisfaction is so great over the affair that the proprietors of tbe rink felt obliged to draw the contest and .have determined to give another trial next Tuesday evening, upon which occasion a reduced admission will be charged. There were many finely dressed ladies on the floor and many who reside outside of Newark. - The person who is giving this piano as a prize is C. H. Martin, and claims to represent D. H. Baldwin of Cincinnati. Ever since o'clock today the little son of Mr. Will Sprague and tbe little daughter of Mr. Theo. Kemp, aged 5 and 6 years, have been missing from their homes. Search has been made about town all af ternoon in vain. Being unsuccessful about town . they thought they might have been cariied off by a band of Gipsies who have been .about here for some time and who pulled up stakes and left some time today, consequently the fathers of the children, together with tbe sheriff and several police, have gone in the direction of the Gipsies, with the hope of overtaking them if possible. At this writing nothing has as yet been heard of them. The children belong to prominent families, which increases the suspicion tbat they h'ave been kidnapped. ... The Democratic primaries take place tomorrow. The Advocate of this evening is setting up the bowk of spurious tickets. They were not printed at that office and therefore must be spuiious, according to the sense of tbat journal. This is simply the same old cry the day before every election. It is a chronic complaint. CHARITIES AND COKTtECTION. Session ot the National Body in Washicc ton The First Day's Proceedings. Washington, June 5. The second day's meeting of the conference of charities and correction was called to order by President Garrett at 9:30 o'clock this morning, and was opened by prayer by Rev. Dr. Dana of Minneapolis. Delegate Giles, of the business committee, reported a resolution that speeches be limited to ten minutes, and that state reports' be limited to the same period. Adopted. The president announced the order of near Graysville, when a short but sharp encounter occurred, in which the rebel general commanding the opposing force was wounded, and his troops compelled to retire in disorder. Subsequently Beatty accompanied Sherman in his expedition to Knoxville for the relief of Bamside, and the close of this campaign ended his military service. General Beatty was elected to the Fortieth Congrets in 1868 from the Eighth district of Ohio. He took en active part in the political campaign which resulted in the election of General Grant to the presidency, and was himself at the same rime re-elected to the Forty fit Congress. He was also re-elected to the Forty-second Congress. During his first term in Congress he served on the committee of invalid pensions ; the second term he was chairman of the committee on . public buildings and grounds, and the third term chairman of the committee on pub printing. While serving in the last position he succeeded, by a persistent and energetic struggle, in breaking down the old Congressional Globe monopoly, which has resulted in a saving of at least $200,000 per annum to the taxpayers of the country. In 1876 General Beatty was an active sup- I porter 'of Governor Hayes for the presidency, and probably did as much to secure Hayes's nomination as any one man. ; At the Cincinnati convention his activity and success in combining tbe divided elements in support of the Ohio candidate ; had a most important bearing npon the action of the convention. In 1880 General Beatty was an active supporter of James G. Blaine for the presidency. When Garfield was nominated Beatty supported him cordially, and his speech defending him from the De Golyer and credit mobilier charges was among the most effective and widely distributed documents of the campaign. In 1SS4 Beatty still felt the utmost kindness toward Mr. Blaine, bat believing that the unfortunate split in the Republican party in New York, which had resulted in the election of Cleveland by nearly 200,000 majority, would make Mr. Blaine's election extremely doubtful, if not impossible, he favored the sending of a delegation to Chicago friendly to Senator Sherman, but not pledged to any one.. In the Blaine campaign Beatty was chosen one of the electors-at-large for this state. The controlling political thought of his life has been the equality of men under the law. It waa this which led him in youth to cast his political fortunes with the Abolitionists ; this which prompted him to cast his first vote for the Free Soil candidate for the presidency ; this which has made him tenacious at all times and under all circumstances, first for the emancipation of the slave, second for the protection of the freedmen, and third for a free ballot and a fair count. He has never stopped to reckon the odds against him in a political contest. Without cast-' ing about to discover which side was Istrongestjjbehas Bimplyjjnqaired which Blue wus rignr, ana BirutK lor it. tie would differ with a President or a Governor on a question of party or public policy just as readily as he would with the humblest citizen, and would yield his convictions if he found they were wrong just as cheerfully to the one as to the other. He has doubtless made mistakes, but he has never been unfaithful to what he believed to be the fundamental principles of the Republican party. business to be the submission of repoits from states. A motion was made and carried, that a committee, to consist of one delegate from each state and territory, to determine tbe time and place for holding the next annual conference, be appointed. A communication was received from the directors of the Maryland penitentiary in Baltimore, inviting the conference to visit the institution. Mr. William Howard Neff of Cincin nati, chairman of the committee on re ports from tbe states, read the commit tee's report. Notwithstanding the efforts of the committee it had not been able to secure reports from all the states. Despite a record of a few failures, the report was highly encouraging and the committee suggested that its life be extended for another year, and that all persons possessing a knowledge of matters of interest be invited to communicate freely. The re port embodied abstracts of the reports from the several states, which were read by the secretary of the convention, or by delegates from the respective states. The reports from several southern states noted the quite general redaction of the By stem of hiring out convicts, and (he adoption of measures which had a ten dency to mitigate the evils oi the system. The report from Delaware noted the miti gation of the severity. of the whipping system. iSlood was rarely drawn at present. The whipping-post was in general favor with the people of Delaware for the punishment of petty offenses. It was rarely found necessary to administer a second whipping to the same offender. Ex-Governor Henry M. Hoyt of Pennsylvania read a paper this evening before the conference npon "The Evolution of the Prison." Charles Dudley Warner then made an informal address describing what he recently saw in the reformatory at Elmira. 'THE GLORIOUS CLIMATE'1 And How It Affects the Mill-Sharon Case A Witness Wbo Initials that She Did Not Tell the Truth. San Fbancisco, June 5. In the case of The People v. Marth Wilson (colored), now under trial for perjury in the celebrated Sharon divorce suit, Miss Mattie Brackett, who was at first an important witness for Miss Hill and later for Senator Sharon, testified today. She acknowledged also having committed j-erjury on behalf of Miss Hill and said: "I know I have told lies against Mr.-Sharon ; knew it was a blackmailing case against him. Know perjury means state prison and understand I have committed the same oflense as the criminal at the bar. I entered into a conspiracy with Miss Hill to blackmail and to defraud Mr. Sharon, but now want to tell the truth, as my conscience worries me. Miss Hill promised me $1000 in case she won and a trunk of unmade dresses if sbe did not. I have not been promised a cent to change my testimony and don't expect to receive anything. I was led to change my course of action because I found Miss Hill had given the business away and did not want to be left. Miss Hill began her forgeries just after Sharon was arrested. I can not remember all the falsehoods I swore to". .When I swore that when I hid behind the bureau in Sharon's bed-room and. heard him admit that Miss Hill was his wife, it was all false." The witness continued : "I knew Miss Hill to be at the time in a delicate situation, and that she intended falsely jo lay it on Sharon. Large Payment ot Life Insurance. . New Yobk. June 5.

THE VICTORIOUS ALCYONE THE LITERARY CONTEST AT O. S. U. Horton Defeated By aSmall Fraction An Enthusiastic Andience The Societies Acquit Themselves With Credit. The third annual contest at State university, between the Alcyone and Horton literary societies, took place last evening in the lecture-room of the main building. Tbe attendance was all that could be desired, the audience being large and enthusiastic. Tbe reat distance of the university from the central portion ' of the city bas always tended to diminish the attendance at each contest, but it seemed last night as though there were an unusual interest in the affair, for those present included not only students, and the immediate friends of the members of the two societies, but also many of our leading citizens drawn thither by tbe excellent program which bad been previously announced.I here were no decorations of any kind but tbe lecture-room presented an attractive appearance from the evident good nature of tbe audience. The music, furnished by Professor Eckhardt's quartet, was perfectly grand, eliciting hearty applause at each namber. It may be well to state that these contests are made up of. a general literary entertainment giveu by the two societies, the one making the highest general average being declared the victor. They include an oration,-debate, essay and declamation, each society presenting a member to take part in each. The grading is done by three judges after the following manner: The oration counts 600 points 200 on thought, 200 on style, 200 on delivery; tbe debate counts 600200 on thought, 200 on style. 2U0 on delivery; the essay counts 500200 on thought, 200 on style, 100 on delivery; the declamation counts 300. The j udges elected for last evening's contest were Hon. John F. Locke of London. Colonel J. T. Holmes and E. O. Randall of this city. They performed their duties in a fair and impartial manner, and were sustained by the audience in their decision. An unusual interest was attached to this contest and tbe decUion, from the fact tbat each society had already won one contest. The fint contest in 1883 was declared in favor of Alcyone, aud last year Horton carried off tbe prize. The excitement last evening at times was at a fever' beat, for it was recognized that the contestants were very evenly matched, and the friends of each were anxious as to the result. There was considerable delay in bfginning the program owing to tbe non-arrival of Mr. Locke, one of the judges, and finally Judge W. W. Johnson was selected to fill the place. It was nearly 9 o'clock before Pr-sidcnt Scott called the andience to order, and R-v. F. O. Granniss offered prayer. Professor Eckhardt's quartet then rendered an overture, which called forth long continued applause. Owing to the delay in beginning, by special request no encores were called for. The literary exercises were opened by Mr. M. N. Mix, of Alcyone, who read a carefully written essay entitled "Our Bread Winners." He began his essay at once by citing the various upheavals of business, and recited the horrible deeds being enacted by the various societies and communities under the guise of seeking their-rights. He took up the question of socialism and communism and pointed out tbe vast evils resulting therefrom. On the other hand the essayist discussed tbe massing of capital and the decline of wages to tbe smallest point. The rights of labor can never come by force, but by unity of labor and capital. Strikes are in themselves right and honorable, but American laborers are extremists in this, aud rarely stop short of destruction of property. Another objection to them is the fact tbat they are so seldom successful and thus are not effective in what they seek to do. The labor question is to be solved in only one way, and tbat is in a mutual co-operation between capital and labor. Mr. C. S. Charters represented Horton as essayist, and followed Mr. Mix with -a beautifully written production upon "The National -Art." After a brief introduction" npon the art of the Raphael school, he said: The national art of today is decorative. Both in mansion of the rich and in cottage of the humble the spirit of decoration will be found. Aesthetics is the study of the merchant as well as of tbe artist. In every department of life it is plainly discerned. i ne moaei lor an this home decoration is elevates and pleases our people. By touching various elements of our nature, it - i i . r . i I . - kind. We can not behold tbgtmulenr oft true art without beiBg inipre&sed w MraH divinity of nature, aud thus wj farL. upon a similar plane with reiigi Both essayists received great t Ltd anj testation of - approval being abootV equally uisinuuieu. liw oruuesira wieflL' rendered a beautiful selection, the effect or wuicu was luurieu Duoienuah vy iiie miaiaw in the audience, many of whom could not retrain irom discussing the -merits -ol . the previous exercise. - - Mr V. J. Emery, of Horton, was then introduced. His oration had for its subject," ' Our Debt to Hamilton," the following being a brief synopsis: . .-- : - r At the close ot the war ot lnaepenaf"ce the confederation of states found thews paJ free, but with no government. Tn catm&yr such as it was, had no credit, and was in iact at sea as to what should be done to put it upon its feet. In tbe midst of all this turmoil there arose a set of men whose wisdom . and determination proved the salvation of the country and the hope of the future. ' Chief among these was the grandt-oldfer-statesman, Alexander Hamilton. Although but a young man, he threw himseit into the conflict and by pen and tongue waged a warfare for tbe establishment of a strong government, such as put to night the opponents ot tne scneme. lie wanted a government 'that could gov ern, and, in spite oi tne misgivings of able and older men as to the success of bis venture, he pushed boldly forward, and the result of his labors is seen in the United States of today. Hi . administration of the finances of tbe country has been tbe rock upon which its whole prosperity has oeen built. When he was retired from public office he saw his greatest enemy in the presi dential chair and his political opponents in all offices, but be bad the satisfaction of knowing that they did not care to change the policy he had outlined. Mr. Ueoige tt. l wiss toiiowed lor Alcyone, his subject being 'Tbe Nation's Danger and the People's Duty." The salient points were the following: ' Tbe perils to tbe nation were not eradi cated by the successful termination of tbe war and the abolition of slavery. Ihe dan gers which now exist are far mure terrible in the relation between the black and white population of the country. The great evil which confronts us is that of illiteracy among tbe black people of tbe South. Tbe :j : -1. . - : . t . rapiu increase iu luis race is iu pai iuo cause of the dangers which threaten us Their percentage nf increase is so much greater than that of the whites that in less than one nunareu years iney win De in me majority in mauy of the Southern states, and what then can we expect? One great evil is found .in the fact that tbe black race of the South is incompetent to rule, and the white race is resolved to rule at any cost, though in the minority in some states. The results of several yeara past show that the corruption of the ballot in tbe Sjuth is gradually forcing its way to tbe North. The only way in which this great problem may be solved is found in tbe grand results possible to be obtained by universal education the only weapon with which the United 8tates may be saved. The nation has given the negro freedom of body, but left his soul enslaved. It has given him tbe ballot, but not tbe education to enable him to cast it intelligently. Following the orations Miss Anna Tresselt sang a solo, accompanied by the orchestra. So sweetly was it rendered tbat tbe andience insisted upon an encore, notwithstanding the opening announcement. The declamations were then announced. Mr. E. V. Mix, of Alcyone, opened with 'King Robert of 8icily.'r He was followed by Mr. E. J. Craft, of Horton, in three pieces, entitled "John Maynard," "The Maniac" and "The Hypochondriac." The recitation of the last piece by Mr. Craft kept the audience in a perfect roar of laughter. The debate ciosed the exercises of tbe evening. The question for discussion was, "Are populous cities favorable to the best interests of society?" Tbe affirmative was taken by Mr. C. A. Davis for Alcyone, who advanced the following argument: History shows that popnleus cities were the great bulwarks of political ambition and commercial progress in every country. The men trained by self-government were almost without exception those who came from populous cities, and their wisdom bas always been tha,t which proved for tbe best interest of society. In large cities wealth is so much greater that by combining it can produce greater results. The great manufactures are only tounu in ones, ids great wyrw of art, great libraries and all such things are found in populous cities. They ore the ..lv ontlets for man's greatest faculties. Every city that contributes to the advancement of mankind is a help to the morality of a people. There is more crime in small tnwiiR wm nared to the population, than in the great metropolis of Jsew York. Look at the small witling towusof the West and render your conclusions. Mr. J. P. Milligan of Horton took the negative side in tbe following argument: In answer to the assertion of the aftirma- ft shows that there is room for 'atre Globes .in a fVfVSSk ooriis....-.-Jtr both work and pleasure. It reforms. UllS aiternoon. C0J.J. - frne I b. tive that association was the great cause o progress, Mi. Milligan claimed that, if thisf association were not carried on to such a great extent, many of those in great cities would be in the country to help the tone of its society and benefit it by their faculties. The health and morality of city people are certainly not so good and pare as in tbe country and smaller towns. The death rat of all sections will prove this if proof should be needed. The average age of tbe population of this country and Europe is found considerably higher than the average in the populous cities. With regard to morality, the evil attractions are a thousand-fold greater in the city than in the country. Gambling, drinking, etc., are so great in tbe cities that it lures the young to tbe terrible vices. Patents in cities so anxious for money, pay less attention to their children than tbe parents of country districts. The government of cities is more difficult than tbat of countries. Senator Sherman has said that it is more difficult to govern a great city than to govern the nation. ! ' ' Mr. Davis followed Mr. Milligan in a five minutesspeeh which clwed tbe debate. While tbe orchestra was rendering "Sounds from Home,' tbe judges retired to make up their decision. Tbe marking was done by each judge separately, and then submitted to a committee to make the average. , When the judges returned and tbe decision was annoanced, it was greeted with storms of applause by the enthusiastic Alcyone men. It will be seen from the decision below that Alcyone won in all except the declamation. Mr. Milligan, the defeated debater, was successful the two preceding years. Tbe following is the result, which gives the victory to Alcyone by 8 6 6 points: Ban- John- Aver-dall. ton.

Good cigars and they are always large can be had for from 4 to (5 cents apiece. And oh, you cigarette smoker! This is your paradise. Two cents and a half will buy a pack of llonrades's best. Cuban drinks are insipid and uninspiring. Brandy and soda 10 cents; and one of them is a certain cure for intemperance. The favorite drink among the Cubana is pa-nates. It is a mixture of sugar and the . whites of eggs dried into a frothy mass and then dissolved in a very large glass oi water, flavored with fresh limes and sometimes a little brandy. It costs 4 cents, and is enough to give a pig dyspepsia. Hogsheads of it are sold in tbe cafes every day.
